Thats too low, imo. We spent €50M this mercato without sales. I'd say we do it again and get another 25 in sales.
80 with sales might not be of. We'll soon have our stadium, which so increase revenues, so we might very well have an opportunity to be very aggresive.
You also forget the incomes these players bring (what RM do well).
Just to clarify, I am not saying tutto isnt full of shit, but I think i could be reasonable.
Subtracting sales from the total spent, we invested €45.6m for the 07/08 season, €23.3m for the 08/09 season, and €33.8m for the 09/10 season.
That's an average of €34m invested per season, so a budget of €30m is realistic. Our revenue has certainly increased since then so it is certainly possible we will spend more, but do we really need to?
Sales: Molinaro (€4m), DC (€4m), Tiago (€7m), Poulsen (€5m), Almiron (€2m), Paolucci (€1m), Trez (€2m), Cannavaro (0), Zebina (0) = €25m (Possibly an extra 12m if we include Criscito and Palladino, but 1 will probably return in exchange for the other)
We just cut our wage budget significantly by getting rid of Cannavaro (€2.2m/yr), Zebina (€2.5m/yr), Tiago (€2.6m/yr), Poulsen (€3.3m/yr), and Trez (€4.5m/yr). Their replacements will not alll receive similar contracts. Hopefully we use the difference on a good coach.
With €30m invested, that brings our budget to €55m, which is enough to strengthen, imo.
€15m for a new CB (Mexes, Kjaer, Tasci, Bonucci all fall within this figure, imo), Caceres for €9m, Criscito for Palladino + €.5m (since Criscito was CO for €5.5m and Palladino for €5m), Candreva for €7m and bring back Ariaudo and Ekdal.
That leaves us with €23.5m to spend. Probably some1 in midfield assuming the Kuranyi rumours are true.
It should go towards a Camo replacement as we can longer rely on him due to constant injuries over the past few seasons. Players like Hazard and Krasic are attainable with €23.5m.
Forwards: ADP, IQ, Amauri, Kuranyi
AM: Diego, Giovinco, Candreva, Camo, Camo replacement
CM/DM: Marchisio, Melo, Momo, Ekdal
FB: Criscito, Grosso, Grygera, Caceres
CB: New CB, Chiellini, Legro, Ariaudo
+ Brazzo who can fill in anywhere.
With the above players, we can play a 4231, 4312 or even a 442. All this done with a modest budget and significant wage cuts.
I thought you liked Brazilians. I expected more people to laugh at the Zarate one.
